ἐκεῖνοι μὲν δὴ ταῦτα· ἡμεῖς δʼ, ὅσης ἅπαντες ὁρᾶτʼ ἐρημίας ἐπειλημμένοι, σκέψασθʼ εἰ παραπλήσια. οὐ πλείω μὲν ἢ χίλια καὶ πεντακόσια τάλαντʼ ἀνήλωται μάτην εἰς τοὺς τῶν Ἑλλήνων ἀπόρους, ἐξανήλωνται δʼ οἵ τʼ ἴδιοι πάντες οἶκοι καὶ τὰ κοινὰ τῇ πόλει καὶ τὰ παρὰ τῶν συμμάχων, οὓς δʼ ἐν τῷ πολέμῳ συμμάχους ἐκτησάμεθα, οὗτοι νῦν ἐν τῇ εἰρήνῃ ἀπολώλασιν;
